Anyone know if OEM painted fenders can be ordered from mopar at all right now? I have the standard black plastic but think I may want them painted instead.
I went back and forth but selected painted flares with Black top. Main reason was it is easier to take the lower black part of the flares off with painted ones. For when bigger tires are installed later

took me a while to decide. I had ordered with black then called the dealer the next day to switch to painted. I figure if I change my mind again I can get black easier later on.
Or maybe the painted ones can be painted over in textured black?

i ordered mine with body color flares because I think it looks nicer from the front hood view. Side views I think look better with black. I have black tops.
Just curious what others have?
Do You think painted is too much green?
i Have gone back and forth
I went with black fenders and black top. Glad I did, less than a month after delivery, I scratched the paint from tree limbs that drug across the fenders first. Painted fenders would have been trashed.

Everyone is gonna have their own opinion! But with that being said. I opted for the painted fenders. These fenders look great painted. Match the jeep well.
I would have never had my jk fenders painted, the entire fender painted looks cheap, black fenders looked better on the jk.

When I ordered mine I had my own doubts on which way to go. I decided to go with the black hard top and painted fenders. I have no regrets.

I put on BFG KO2 load range C tires in 315/70-17 along with 1.75 Spidertrax wheel spacers so that I could keep the factory Rubicon Wheels. I really like the ride of the C rated tires better than the E's that I had on my JK. I bought them from Discount Tires Direct.

Great! I wish I could have found something on the lot but I wanted a manual. That was impossible. I may possibly get a few weeks of topless when I get it it. Not like AZ weather here in NY.

You might be the only other Mojito I’ve seen with those rims and white letter tires.

Just ordered my two door Mojito today and you guys really gave me a lot to think about.
I opted for painted fenders with black top.But these two jeeps both look great. Really like the 315’s with the spider track wheel spacers.

i was never a fan of painted hard top and fenders. It just gives too much of one color on the vehicle. I think the colors with the Black top and flares are best looking JEEPS in almost every color.

Those Firecracker Red 4 door Wranglers with painted hard top and fenders look like a fire truck to me!

Painted fenders black top.

Painted top is WAY to much green. Painted fenders is perfect. Plus they won’t turn that horrible gray the black ones will.
I thought about painted fenders as a way to avoid dealing with the graying of the black fenders. Problem is the painted fenders still have a black edge that can turn gray.
